Eleven School of Medicine faculty projects were recently funded through an AMC21 initiative giving NIH-funded investigators incentive to submit a second R01. Suresh Boppana, M.D., Pediatric Infectious Disease, received the grant for the project, “The Role of T Cell Responses in Controlling HCMV Transmission via Breast Milk.” The 11 projects, chosen based on scientific merit, were eligible for $50,000 per year, for a project period of up to two years, pending appropriate progress and achieving benchmarks. The goal is to have a new funded R01 by the second year. Dr. Boppana Awarded Incentive Grant from UAB School of Medicine
